and Transportation Officials, 1984, as amended from time to time,
and supplemental highway engineering and construction standards and
specifications approved by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.
All driveways installed, altered, changed, replaced,
or extended in an agricultural, single-family or two-family or conservancy
district shall meet the following requirements:
A.Â
Width. The minimum width of a driveway shall be 12
feet, and the driveway shall not exceed 24 feet in width at the property
line. In no case shall a driveway extend into the right-of-way so
as to cross the extension of the side property line as extended into
the right-of-way.
B.Â
Setback. Driveways shall be a minimum of five feet from the side or rear property line, and a minimum of 10 feet from wetlands on said property, except as provided in Subsection C below.
C.Â
Exceptions to the driveway setback.
(1)Â
The Village Zoning Administrator may allow for encroachment
into the required setback in the following instances:
(a)Â
Extension of a nonconforming driveway.
(b)Â
Installation of a driveway that cannot meet
said requirements if there is no garage on said lot and if an attached
garage cannot be constructed and a detached garage must be constructed
in the rear of the property.
(c)Â
Environmental or drainage problems prevent the
meeting of this requirement.
(2)Â
Encroachment into the setback may be allowed only
if the following conditions are satisfied:
(a)Â
Proper drainage is provided so as not to cause
a drainage problem on said property or adjacent properties;
(b)Â
An area for snow removal and snow storage is
provided; and
(c)Â
Any other requirements deemed necessary by the
Village to ensure that public health, safety and welfare are not compromised.
D.Â
Location of driveway in relation to intersections.
(1)Â
Spacing between driveways and intersections of county, state or Village arterial roadways. No direct driveway access shall be permitted within 150 feet, as measured from the center line of the roadway to the center line of the driveway, of any county, state or Village arterial roadway intersection, except where existing platted residential lots have insufficient frontage to meet this requirement, then the driveway shall be placed as far from the intersection as practically possible. In the event that a particular parcel lacks adequate road frontage for access to maintain adequate spacing between driveways, the property owner may obtain approval from the Zoning Administrator or shared common driveway access from the roadway per Subsection F may be approved.
(2)Â
Spacing between driveways and intersections of all other Village public or private roadways. No direct driveway access shall be permitted within 100 feet, as measured from the center line of the roadway to the center line of the driveway, of all other Village public or private road intersections, except where existing platted residential lots have insufficient frontage to meet this requirement, then the driveway shall be placed as far from the intersection as practically possible. In the event that a particular parcel lacks adequate road frontage for access to maintain adequate spacing between driveways, the property owner may obtain approval from the Zoning Administrator or shared common driveway access from the roadway per Subsection F may be approved.
E.Â
Number of driveways. Only one driveway shall be allowed
onto a state, county or Village arterial roadway, except farm access
points may be approved by the county, state or Village Zoning Administrator
for their respective roadway jurisdiction, provided that all other
Village driveway requirements are satisfied. More than one driveway
onto all Village public or private roadways may be approved by the
Zoning Administrator, provided that the distance as measured from
the center line to the center line of each driveway is a minimum of
55 feet and all other driveway requirements are satisfied.
F.Â
Shared driveway access. Shared driveway access may
be allowed by the Plan Commission as long as the underlying district
minimum lots widths are maintained. The shared driveway entrance shall
not cross property lines at the right-of-way. If a shared driveway
access is approved, an easement and maintenance agreement shall be
prepared by the property owner, approved by the Village and recorded
at the owner' expense at the Kenosha County Register of Deeds office.
All driveways installed, altered, changed, replaced,
or extended in any business, manufacturing, multifamily, institutional
or park and recreational district shall meet the following requirements:
A.Â
Driveway spacing.
(1)Â
Driveway spacing shall be determined as a function
of the adjacent and/or intersecting roadway operating speeds. Spacing
between driveways and the spacing between driveways and an intersection
for all uses except single-family and two-family residential land
uses shall be determined according to the following table as outlined
below:

(2)Â
The spacing is based on average vehicle acceleration
and deceleration rates and is considered necessary to maintain safe
traffic operation. Spacing shall be measured from the midpoint of
each driveway or intersection. In the event that a particular parcel
lacks frontage to maintain adequate spacing, the property owner has
one of two options: the property owner can seek approval from the
Zoning Administrator for minimum spacing, but in no case should the
distance be greater than the next lowest classification on the above
table; or the adjacent property owners may agree to establish a common
driveway. This provision does not lessen the minimum lot width requirement
on a public roadway.
(3)Â
To further clarify the above chart the following examples
are being provided:
(a)Â
Example 1: If a driveway is proposed to be located
on a nonarterial road which has a speed limit of 30 miles per hour
and said nonarterial road intersects an arterial road which has a
speed limit of 50 miles per hour, then the driveway shall be located
either on the arterial (unless restricted access prohibits said driveway)
or nonarterial road a minimum of 550 feet as measured from the center
line of the driveway and the center line of the intersecting arterial
street.
(b)Â
Example 2: If a second driveway is proposed
to be located on the nonarterial road as described above in Example
1, then the second driveway shall be a minimum of 125 feet from the
first driveway and shall be a minimum of 550 feet from the center
line of the intersecting arterial street.
(c)Â
Example 3: If a second driveway is proposed
to be located on the arterial road as described above in Example 1,
then the second driveway shall be a minimum of 550 feet from the driveway
that is a minimum of 550 feet from the center line of the intersecting
arterial street.
(d)Â
Example 4: If a driveway is proposed to be located
on an arterial road which has a speed limit of 45 miles per hour and
said arterial road intersects another arterial road which has a speed
limit of 50 miles per hour, then the driveway shall be located a minimum
of 550 feet as measured from the center line of the driveway and the
center line of either intersecting arterial street.
B.Â
Offset driveways. Offset driveways shall not be allowed in any district unless they meet the criteria as set forth in Subsection A above.
C.Â
Sight distance.
(1)Â
All driveways shall be located so that an exiting
vehicle has an unobstructed sight distance according to the following
minimum sight distance table as outlined below:

Sight distance is defined as the minimum distance
required by a driver of a vehicle traveling at a given speed to bring
the vehicle to a stop after sighting an object in the path. Stopping
sight distance is measured from the driver's eyes, which are assumed
to be 3.5 feet above the pavement surface, to an object 1/2 foot high
on the pavement. (Source: American Association of State Highway and
Transportation Officials, 1984, and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation's
Facility Development Manual.)
D.Â
Width. The maximum width of a driveway shall not exceed
35 feet at the property line. The Zoning Administrator, however, may
allow an increase in width to provide for safer and adequate traffic
movements. In no case shall a driveway extend into the right-of-way
so as to cross the extension of the side property lines as extended
into the right-of-way.
[Amended 5-17-2010 by Ord. No. 10-29]
E.Â
Setback. Driveways shall be a minimum of 20 feet from
the side or rear property line and a minimum of 25 feet from any wetlands
on said property. The minimum twenty-five-foot setback to wetlands
may be reduced with approval of the Zoning Administrator, provided
the wetlands are not disturbed and proposed drainage is provided so
as not to cause a drainage problem on said property or adjacent properties.
[Amended 7-20-2020 by Ord. No. 20-26]
F.Â
Driveway design. Any driveway design shall allow an
entering vehicle maximum turning speed of 15 miles per hour to help
reduce interference with through street traffic.
G.Â
Off-street storage on driveway. Driveways shall be
sufficient to provide off-street storage to accommodate at least three
vehicles waiting to park or exit without using any portion of the
street right-of-way or in any other way interfering with traffic.
H.Â
Number of driveways. A maximum of one driveway opening shall be permitted to a particular site from each of any one or two abutting Village public or private streets. In an attempt to promote good traffic circulation, the Plan Commission may permit an additional driveway entrance along a continuous site with frontage in excess of 300 feet, provided that the separation distance does not conflict with the spacing criteria as listed in Subsection A above or more restrictive requirements as set forth by the state or county. All driveway access to a county or state right-of-way requires approval from the county or state.
I.Â
One-way driveways. Only one right in, right out only
driveway may be used per 250 feet of frontage.
J.Â
Dual-service driveway. A dual-service driveway (one
lane in, one or two lanes out, separated by a boulevard) shall be
considered to be only one direct-access driveway.
K.Â
Temporary driveway access. Temporary driveway access
may be granted by the Village Plan Commission after review and recommendations
by the highway agencies having jurisdiction. Such Village access permit
shall be temporary, revocable, and subject to any conditions required
and shall be issued for a period not to exceed 12 months.
L.Â
Shared driveway access. Shared driveway access may
be allowed by the Plan Commission as long as the underlying district
minimum lots widths are maintained. The shared driveway entrance may
cross property lines at the right-of-way, except for driveway access
onto a county or state highway right-of-way, then the driveway shall
not cross property lines. If a shared driveway access is approved,
an easement and maintenance agreement shall be prepared by the property
owner, approved by the Village and recorded at the owner's expense
at the Kenosha County Register of Deeds office.
At the time any use or building, except a single-family
home, is constructed, or at the time an existing use or building,
except a single-family home, is enlarged, extended, relocated or remodeled
by 50% or more of the gross floor area, then the following off-street
parking requirements shall be complied with:
A.Â
Internal site circulation, access roads and private
roads. Internal site circulation, access roads and private roads serving
property located within the R-7, R-8, R-9, R-10, R-11 and R-12 Districts
and business, manufacturing, institutional or recreational districts
shall be constructed of an all-weather paved surface roadway with
a minimum width of 30 feet as measured from face of curb to face of
curb.
B.Â
Parking space size. The size of each parking space
shall meet the following criteria as listed below. All parking spaces
shall provide adequate access and maneuvering and proper ingress and

Handicapped parking requirements. In addition to any
other requirements relating to parking spaces contained in this chapter,
the provisions contained in §§ 101.13, 346.503 and
346.56, Wis. Stats., and any Wisconsin Administrative Code sections
adopted pursuant thereto, are hereby adopted by reference and are
made applicable to all parking facilities whenever constructed.
E.Â
Combinations. Combinations of any of the above uses
shall provide the total of the number of spaces required for each
individual use.
F.Â
Uses not listed. In the case of structures or uses not mentioned in § 420-50, the parking space provisions for a use which is similar, as determined by the Village Zoning Administrator, shall apply.
G.Â
Shared off-street parking. Off-street parking spaces
for separate uses may be provided collectively or shared if the total
number of spaces provided is not less than the sum of the separate
requirement of the uses being served.
H.Â
Adjustment of spaces required. The Village Plan Commission,
after careful review and consideration, may adjust the minimum number
of required parking spaces due to additional factors which may be
present, such as the availability of on-street parking adjacent to
the development or use; peak or off-peak parking requirements; additional
parking needs; or dependency of automobile traffic to access the site.
[Amended 7-20-2020 by Ord. No. 20-26]
I.Â

setback to wetlands may be reduced with approval of the Zoning Administrator,
provided the wetlands are not disturbed and proposed drainage is provided
so as not to cause a drainage problem on said property or adjacent
properties.
[Amended 7-20-2020 by Ord. No. 20-26]
(d)Â
Other exceptions:
[1]Â
For parking areas on abutting properties, the parking area setback
to internal, nonstreet lot lines may be reduced to a minimum of 10
feet in order to achieve a minimum twenty-foot-wide separation between
parking areas upon the development of both properties. In no case
shall the distance between abutting parking areas be less than 20
feet. Parking areas shall not encroach into easement areas without
written approval.
[2]Â
If a commercial parking area abuts any residential district, no vehicle
shall be allowed to travel on a driveway or park closer than 25 feet
